Dear Higley High School Families,
The state-mandated AIMS HS (High School) Writing and Reading Tests are quickly approaching. On February 28th and 29th, all Sophomores as well as Juniors & Seniors who have not yet met the Writing and Reading standards and those who are opting to attempt to exceed will be participating in the Writing and Reading tests. Breakfast will be provided in the cafeteria at 7:20 for testers; testing will begin at 7:45 a.m.
All Freshmen and Juniors and Seniors who are not testing will have late start beginning at 10:50 a.m. There will be no A Hour classes on testing days.
The Higley Unified School District will run their a.m. bus routes twice each morning on February 28th and 29th during AIMS testing. The following students will need to catch their assigned bus at the regular time/stop each morning:
- All Sophomores
- Juniors and Seniors who have not met AIMS minimum standards
- Juniors and Seniors who are attempting to “exceed” AIMS
The second bus route will run exactly 3 ½ hours later than their assigned pick-up time. For example, if your student typically is picked up at 6:45 a.m., he/she will be picked up at 10:15 a.m. on February 28th and 29th. Please see attached late start Schedule.
If you have questions or need additional information please contact Higley High School at (480) 279-7300.
Sincerely,
Higley High School Administration
